The fear that was rushing throughout my core was something I had never felt in my entire life. Sure, I have been scared, but seeing my little brother disappear with the flattened demon wolf was stomach turning out right fear for what was about to come. He was not equipped mentally or physically for even a split second in the pits of hell, he would be eaten alive after he was torn limb from limb, suffering the entire time. Jennifer was by my side sobbing her eyes out while I was still trying to comprehend what in the world had just happened.
She said, “Did that just fucking happen, Naomi? How did he just disappear like that? We have to get him; we have to save him. This is all my fault, if I had been able to keep my composure, he would never have stepped in front of the demon’s eyes a

Not waiting for Jennifer or I to get settled, Todd peeled off in his white windowless van full of paranormal detecting and studying equipment. We were heading towards Mrs. Tannell’s house to see what we could do to find Jackson and save him from whatever he was going through. My heart drummed rapidly in my chest as Jennifer clung to one of the many shelves as Todd expeditiously drove us to our English teacher’s house where there was a portal to hell located in the middle of her living room. He said, "Grab on to something back there kiddos, we have no time to waste and I do not want either of you getting hurt because I am driving like we are in the Indy 500. Get your thinking caps on too, we need all the ideas we can get." The drive, well, the distance was not a long way, but I will be damned if it did not feel like an eternity. The few

Just let it be on the record that this situation could not be more fucked up if I had planned it myself. All we wanted to do was find any source of demonic activity or travel somewhere in my home while my parents slept soundly in their bedroom. What ended up happening threw our lives into a whirlwind that I feared we would not be able to recover from. Seeking help from Mrs. Tannell resulted in finding her and Nurse Helen performing some sort of impromptu dissection on a man that we could not identify. The fact that Nurse Helen and Mrs. Tannell were up to nefarious activities when they thought they would not be disturbed threw my faith in The Wall alliance into a downward spiral that could very well destroy the entire soul of the alliance. To put the proverbial cherry on top, my childhood archrival, Sarah Macly, the little asshole that hit me with a fireball causing me to stumble in

The lot of us sat at the circular meeting table in the middle of Mrs. Tannell’s house in silence. There was not a dialogue as far as who we were going to send to hell with me through the portal, but it seemed that each person was having an internal monologue with themselves as they determined who they would like to send with me. It felt as if the decision was down to Jennifer and Sarah, but with this group it could very well be anyone around the table. The longer we sat at this table, the longer we thought about who it was going to be that went to hell with me, the worse it was going to be for Jackson. He was trapped down in hell with the demon he killed single-handedly. At this point, my anxiety was pounding through my veins. I could not care any less about who went through the portal with me as long as we went ahead and made a decision so the mission to find and rescue Jackson could get underway. The room grew colder and colder the lon

Todd presented the broken shards to Jennifer, Sarah, and me. He handed us each a dime sized purple piece of shard and made a motion with his mouth that looked as if he were telling us to eat them. Without hesitation, I tossed it in my mouth, chewed it up, and swallowed it down before Jennifer and Sarah even looked at their shaking palms to see the purple shard resting in them. “This goes in now. Ingest this one, it will make the fall from the portal a bit easier on your body. Once you reach the bottom it should wear off but if it does not, do not worry. It will affect you negatively. I think.” He said. The broken up purple shard tasted like metal, not like copper which is what blood tastes like. But more of a dime flavor. After I swallowed the piece of shard, my throat burned as if the shard had grabbed onto every piece of skin, it could and sliced its way down my throat. The pain that was inflicted on me was minuscule

It was time, the time to get on our mission. Jennifer, Sarah, and me stood inches from the portal to hell just waiting for the final 'clear to go signal from someone, anyone. Jennifer was ready, her face was focused and clear. She was unphased by the fact that we were going to hell after ingesting demon shards to see if we could find the freakishly tall demon that was able to transform into a wolf like creature with fire shooting eyes that Jackson killed but, in the process, managed to use its last function on Earth to disappear with my little brother. After research and a brief discussion, it was determined the demon had taken Jackson to hell and we had to get down there, kill the demon on its home turf, find Jackson, and escape hell all without being trapped or damaged to the point of no return. Let us not forget that Nurse Helen put in a special request that Sarah Macly, my childhood bully, the granddaughter of my English teacher slash

The millions of blue variants began to fade into one solid dark blue color. The closer we were to being released from the portal and delivered to hell, the darker the portal color became. Looking down, I could see a massive black hole, the hole that would spit us out and onto the dirty rock covered floor. Jennifer, Sarah, and I had fallen for quite a while, the wind from our supersonic fall had wreaked havoc on our hair and skin. My hair was standing straight up, even as long as it was, looking like I had been electrocuted. Jennifer and Sarah had small lacerations on each cheek from small pieces of debris that appeared as we got closer to hell on our free fall through the portal. The hell portal located in Mrs. Tannell’s living room had grown silent, another clear signal that the free fall was almost over, and we were about to be spat out onto the sharp, hard ground next to t

Time was of the essence; the sounds of heavy pounding feet were beginning to fill the area around us. Regardless of what injuries we had suffered on our fall from the portal, forty feet easy, we had to get on the move, use our shards, and get out of sight if this mission was going to go smoothly. All three of us were on the ground writhing in pain, this was not an ideal situation as we did not plan for the worst, only the semi-worst. Our brains were filled with images of rushing demons and imminent doom, how the hell were we supposed to remember which shard did what? There were only three colors, there were three of us. If we each took one color, then one of us would get the correct shard that would heal wounds or at least relieve the pain from that person. I said, "I know the red shard can be consumed to add a resist

Holding onto each other’s belt loops with me leading the charge, Jennifer, Sarah, and I quickly but cautiously made our way down the narrow pathway that the board of demons had come rushing from when they heard us hit the ground when our trip through the hell portal was over. The forty-foot drop had left us all badly injured, Sarah more than us, but our demon shards had performed exactly as predicted by Todd, leaving the three of us invisible and somewhat healed, at least healed enough that the immense pain from our impact injuries had subsided and we were able to function as if we had not been completely decimated by the dirt covered rocky floor. All seemed well, there was screaming in the distance, no doubt it was a new arrival getting acclimated to his new permanent home. We pushed forward, unable to see each other but knowing we were still attached based off of the constant tugging on our
